Eibach Sportlines and Koni Shocks

Hey guys so i am going to lower my car and i was wondering if i should put on the koni shocks and the eibach sportlines or will i be okay with just the sportlines. I dont want to ruin my struts after having the sportlines on for a couple of years.

Also i dont really know anything about the koni shocks. What do they do for my car and is there any negative impact of having them.

Thanks alot guys

i have both and if you dont wanna ruin your shocks then dont lower your car. cause lowering it will blow the shocks guaranteed and in order to do konis you have to cut appart your front shocks. and as far as what do they do for your car well basically they make it overall alot more stiff(depending on what settinr you have them on) they help to keep your car as level as possible and keep all four tires planted. i noticed a huge diff with mine. and the only negative is you have to cut apart the front shocks to do them and if you screw up you have to go to the dealer or a junk yard to get another shock.

You can do just sportlines witout struts, however the Koni struts will just make the ride better yet...

We have everything in stock if interested.

The recommended thing to do is buy new struts but not everyone can afford springs and struts but you can run eibach springs on the the stock struts its your car and your choice

Killer bee said its your car and your choice. Of course he is right. However if you don't want to have to replace your original shocks and struts later then I recommend you upgrade them right away. If you can't afford shocks/Struts or coil overs I recommend you not lower your car at all. I lowered with sportlines and 25000km later the front struts where gone. Replaced them with Koni's and I now wish I did this to begin with. Would have saved a lot of time and money.

If you go Konis and sportlines... you already gonna be around 700 bucks...

Do yourself a favor, spend another 300 and buy COILOVERS.
